Good head phones with decent sound and bass.,
Good head phones with decent sound and bass. These are comfortable headphones for walking, running and general use. They deliver good sound and decent bass.
–Pros
Good sound and decent bass.
They apply a light pressure on the ear canal and are comfortable to wear for long periods. They don’t get dislodged or fall off while running.
Inline mic is great for making calls. Great to use for making calls while driving as it doesn’t cut off the ambient noise.
It is not in-ear as I wanted to hear some ambient noise.
Supposedly waterproof.
–Cons
It is held in place by the flexing neck band that puts a slight pressure on the ear canal. The neck band doesn’t touch any part of the head and hovers over the base of the neck. If you are wearing a track suit with collars or a jacket it makes for an uncomfortable experience when you tilt the head back and the ear buds shift. Any tap on the neckband makes a loud noise from the headphones.
It is position critical. If the neckband is tilted up or down the sound quality suffers.
The cable with the audio controls is on the left and is tricky to use for right-handers. The inline controls are hard to use as the buttons are small. This is probably the case with many headphones.
The cable is too long and gets tangled up. This is also probably the case with many headphones.
Generally the headphones work well, sound great and I am quite satisfied after using it for running, making calls and listening to music at work and home. I was aware of some of the cons before purchasing and chose this over the Sennheiser PX685i headphones which is an over the head phone.

Only Work with Apple Products,
These sound great. They are as good as my Monster earbuds which cost much more. BUT be aware they are ‘made for iPods, iPhones iPads’. The controls (volume, ff, etc) work fine on my iPod but do not on my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone.
The product description should note this.
